1. Day San Francisco:
Time for some sightseeing. Fisherman's Wharf, still to some extent a real working wharf, has been, alas, transformed into a whole host of touristy shops and restaurants but its waterfront atmosphere is fun. Nearby, Ghiradelli Square offers numerous fun-to-browse boutiques. Prowl around North Beach, San Francisco's Italian enclave; walk along Columbus Avenue (easily accessible from Fisherman's Wharf) and take in the shops, the gourmet delis, and the restaurants and coffee houses with sidewalk cafes. Just beyond North Beach (incidentally, there's no beach) is Chinatown (Bush Street and Grant Avenue), a wonderful, bustling, fragrant neighborhood filled with stores, butchers, pastry shops and such. Walk or drive down the part of Lombard Street (between Hyde and Leavenworth) that's known as the world's crookedest and wind your way up to Coit Tower for a splendid hilltop view of San Francisco, the Golden Gate Bridge, and beyond. Departure 16:00

2. - 03. Day At Sea:
All it takes to get the inside story of Alaska's beauty is a trip through the Inside Passage, Alaska's "water highway", where majestic fjords compete for your attention with mountain masterpieces carved by the glaciers. Small fishing villages along the coast dot breathtaking panoramas and the protected waters are perfect for spotting marine mammals and other wildlife.

4. Day Sitka:
Touring St. Michael's Cathedral (Lincoln Street), distinctive for its onion-domed architecture. But the church isn't an antique; it was rebuilt, to original specifications, after a fire in 1966, reopening a decade later. The cathedral also has what is reputed to be the largest number of Russian icons in the U.S. The Sitka National Historical Park Visitor Center (Lincoln Road) for exhibits of Southeast Alaskan culture. There are demos of traditional crafts of the Tlingit tribe (silversmithing, weaving, basketry) and you can hike a self-guided, short trail to the Tlingit Fort; on the way you'll pass more than a dozen distinctive Totem poles. Shopping in Sitka, where stores like the Russian American Co. On 407 Lincoln Street, the Log Cache on 206 Lincoln Street and the Isobel Miller Museum's gift shop on Centennial Hall, 330 Harbor Drive sell heritage items. Old Harbor Books on 201 Lincoln Street is a great source for books on Sitka and southeast Alaska.

As you approach Skagway, you'll see the town resting peacefully at the base of a river valley bordered by the Coast Mountain Range. The mountains, ranging from 5,000 to 7,000 feet in height, seem to rise straight up from the saltwater fjord. Once on land, the streets of Skagway draw you back to 1898 when this idyllic native fishing village and nearby Deya had a population of about 20.000 during the most fanatic Gold Rush in history. Today, wooden sidewalks, old-fashioned saloons, quaint gift shops and horse-drawn carriages serve as reminders of the famous Alaskan Gold Rush days.  Don’t miss am adventurous trip with the historic White Pass Yukon Railroad – completed in 1890 with the driving of a golden spike in Carcross/Yukon.

7. Day Tracy Arm Cruising:
This narrow fjord twists and turns for over 30 miles, culminating in a spectacular view of the twin tidewater Sawyer Glaciers.

Watch for seals relaxing on the icebergs, bald eagles soaring above the cliffs and many other animals that call this area home. Learn about the natural history of the fjord, its glaciers and the wildlife from our onboard naturalist. Gain insights into Tlingit Native culture.
